I never had a problem with the lack of diversity in 40K. The way I figured it, the Imperium of Man is a pretty Nazi-like empire to begin with. It's completely probable that they simply wiped out all the minority races.

A lot of fantasy is pretty overtly racist when you get right down to it. Certain races in fantasy are just de-facto evil and that's just that. When I play organized Dungeons and Dragons and we encounter a goblin or an orc, most gamers turn into murder-hobos immediately. Then I'll say something like "should we try to figure out if they've done anything wrong first?" and they'll stare at me dumbfounded as if I had sprouted a third eye and tentacles.
